The leaked conversation among cabinet members reveals their reactions to a recent family tragedy at a campground, with discussions focusing on the need for policy changes to prevent future incidents, alongside some disagreement about the approach to tackling root causes of such tragedies.
Rubio (03:23 pm ET): Just seen the news, those poor girls at the campground. A family tragedy.
Kent (03:25 pm ET): Heart-wrenching. Can’t imagine what their mother is feeling right now.
Vance (03:30 pm ET): It’s a tragedy, yes. But we must be careful not to exploit such events for political gain. Instead, we should be focusing on policy changes that prevent such incidents in the future.
Miller (03:40 pm ET): Yeah, Vance. You’re right. Maybe we should ban all fathers from visiting their children. 🙄
Gabbard (03:42 pm ET): That’s not funny, Stephen. This is a serious matter.
Rubio (03:50 pm ET): Agreed, Gabbard. We need to address the root causes here, not just the symptoms.
Hegseth (03:55 pm ET): Rubio, you’re sounding like a liberal now. Focus on the root causes?🤣
Waltz (04:00 pm ET): This isn’t a laughing matter, Hegseth. A sensible approach is required.
Rubio (04:15 pm ET): Thank you, Waltz. That’s exactly my point.👍
Miller (04:30 pm ET): Yeah Rubio, because everything is so “sensible” out there. Wait till you see the liberal media spin this.
Wiles (4:40 pm ET): Let’s stay on topic here, folks. Our sympathy should be with the family at this time.
Hegseth (04:55pm ET): Sure, Wiles. Sympathy. Nothing gets done without action though.
Witkoff (05:00 pm ET): Hegseth, remember your words when the shoe is on the other foot.
Bessent (05:05 pm ET): Enough! This isn’t about politics. It’s about three innocent lives lost.
Miller (05:10 pm ET): “Innocent lives lost.” So true, Bessent. Now if only the “innocent” migrants at the border got the same sympathy from you.
Gabbard (05:13 pm ET): Miller, now is not the time for sarcasm. Please try to show some decency.
Rubio (05:20 pm ET): Agreed. We should all be focused on preventing such tragic incidents in the future.
Ratcliffe (05:35 pm ET): Very much agreed, Rubio. We’ve got work to do.
